Mobile

Does anyone know of an app that can read a QR code and can access the device's unique ID (either phone number, mac address, or...).

EDIT ===================

On the other hand, I suppose I could use a cookie (that expires after 24 hours or something like that) to identify a device...

I've let your message through, but deleted the link as it looks very much like site driving spam, which is why it was sent to moderation in the first place.
Given how long you have been here, I don't think it was deliberate but please do not link to your site again or the more trigger happy among us will start the process of banning you from this site.

We get a lot of spam (nearly 14 million members is a tasty target for those that don't like to pay for advertising, and some of it is decidedly NSFW) and so we have a automated system which looks at everything that is posted. If it thinks it looks like spam, it goes to a special queue where us human volunteers get the final decision: let it through, or kill it and squash the poster like a bug.

When a member posts something that looks like spam but it isn't intentional, we can let it through or squash, no other options - so in this case, I let it through, and then had to chase it down and edit it to remove the link. If I hadn't, then some other member might consider it spam and start the "kick 'em off" process. Or I squash the message, and the process of kicking the member off the site starts, which is hardly fair for a simple mistake.
But that wastes my time, so I add a quick warning so the member doesn't do it again, and I can go on my way.

You would not believe the amount of spam a single spambot can generate when it tries hard: thousands of messages a minute, which mean that nothing legitimate gets to be seen, and it's a real PITA to clean up. Hence the automated system with very necessary human supervision!

With my project (Coco2d-x) open in Xcode and my (registered developer) Apple account as the [Team] the system does not recognise the iPhone (logged into iCloud with my registered developer account) when it is plugged into the usb.

If I switch my [Team] in Xcode to 'None' or use a non-developer registered AppleID as the [Team] the iPhone is recongised.

Please tell me what steps I need to take to allow Xcode to 'see' the phone when I am using my 'proper' developer AppleID?

When I want to select from a dropdown box on a desktop browser I can use the keyboard to type a letter to cut the searching short, e.g. press K and the list will jump to entries starting with K. Unfortunately this does not work on my BB (not sure about Android or iPhone) and I don't know if it is even possible on mobile to achieve a similar result.

BB just shows the dropdown box and forces me to scroll the entire list. I have already shortened the list but the number of entries can still be substantial (50 - 100 entries).

I have searched high and low to see if I can force a keyboard to pop up or jump to specific entries but came up empty.
Any help would be appreciated.

Provide a "filter" above the list that allows you to type a letter (e.g., K). As each letter is typed, the list will be refreshed with only those items that start with (or contain) the typed letter(s).

I did this very thing in an Android app that had a semi-large list of bullet calibers. As I typed a character, the list would only show those calibers starting with what I had typed (e.g., .30 would show calibers .30, .30-30, .300, .307, .308, .30-06, .30-378, .303).

Thanks David. Not sure if that's what you're saying but I am not developing a mobile app but want to do it for a mobile website.
However, I will start looking for anything that will allow me to filter on a website. If you can suggest any places I should look I'd appreciate it.
Btw I do not use ASP or .net

David, great suggestion.
Found just what I was looking for here http://jsfiddle.net/x6cfF/4/

For those who want to filter long dropdown boxes with many entries, you may want to look into that. I now use it whenever I can.
Short and sweet and works like a charm. By default it only finds entries starting with what you type but it can be tweaked to find entries where the text appears anywhere in the entries.
Cheers

When I say block block clearly the final exception handler has garbage data there (think a hollow graphical block). Considering my application has a dozen threads, 6 processes, etc. it would be nice to populate these fields.

I don't see anything in CreateProcess, CreateThread, etc. Anyone know if this can be done?

Thanks
